Los Angeles has week’s full of activities for the family, notes Erika Lavyne, director of public relations for the 726-room Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, 2025 Avenue of the Stars. Close to most area attractions, the seven-acre hotel features a spa with 20 treatment rooms, fitness center, pool and a variety of places for the family to eat including Breeze, the Hyatt’s award-winning, signature restaurant.
“L.A. does not disappoint. Every member of the family will find something special to enjoy when visiting Los Angeles this summer. There is so much to choose from,” says Robin A. McClain, director of Media Relations and Communications for The Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The two women suggest a variety of L.A. stops. In Hollywood, Universal Studios is featuring the new King Kong ride, opening in July. You and the children will be transported—via Surround Digital 3D projection—into the world of SkullIsland, home of the big movie star and gigantic simian.
Hollywood also offers The Kodak Theater (Cirque de Soliel starts here in 2011), the Hollywood Museum at the Historic Max Factor Building, Disney’s El Capitan Theater and Soda Fountain Shop and the Hollywood and Highland complex with great shopping and dining. And don’t forget the shopping at Rodeo Drive and the etched sidewalk at Grauman’s Chinese Theater.
In nearby Santa Monica, the world-famous Pier (have a corndog!) is a rewarding visit, and the newly opened 5,000-sq.-ft. Santa MonicaHistoricalSocietyMuseum has historical information on the art, culture and history of the city.
